Abstract

The presentation will focus on how psychosexual medicine and sexology education can be integrated into psychiatry residency training. The Psychosexual Medicine Program currently being implemented at Beth Israel Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in New York, NY will be described. The positive impact on the training program and overwhelming support from faculty and residents of the program will be discussed. An argument will be made why it is important to teach sexual medicine in psychiatry residency training and how psychiatrists are uniquely positioned to be good sexologists. It will be recommended that sexual medicine education become an integrated part of psychiatry residency training everywhere in the USA.
